You may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.

“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (禮儀) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尷尬的) places.”

We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.

He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want – it’s your own little box.

If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (對(duì)角線地) across from each other to create distance.

When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle（三角形）. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.

New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act according to their decisions. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.

Why are we so awkward in lifts?

“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”

In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact(接觸) ,” she said.

1.According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.

A. turn around and greet one another

B. look around or examine their phone

C. try to keep a distance from other people

D. make eye contact with those in the elevator

2.Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? (The point in the chart refers to one person.)

3.The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.

A. ignore B. judge C. put up with D. make the best of

4.According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.

A. the lack of space

B. someone’s odd behaviors

C. their unfamiliarity with one another

D. their eye contact with one another

If you want to see climate change, head north and keep going until you run out of globe. That is easier said than done. The Arctic (北極) is home to few people and covered in ice much of the year. But those who make their way to the icy seas of the Arctic Ocean will see a part of the planet that is warming and changing faster than anywhere else.

In September, scientists announced at the National Snow and Ice Data (數(shù)據(jù)) Center that Arctic summer sea ice had fallen to its second lowest level since 1979, and probably long before that. The Arctic has lost an area of ice greater than the area of all U.S. states east of the Mississippi River. And what ice remains appears to be getting thinner and weaker.

Nick Toberg and Till Wagner are polar ice scientists who are doing sea ice fieldwork. “There is plenty of data to suggest that the ice is becoming thinner as well as smaller in area,” they say.

The changes happening in the Arctic are a warning for the entire world . As polar expert Walt

Meier puts it, “What happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic.”

Some scientists worry that Arctic sea ice may be going from a downward spiral (螺旋線) to a “death spiral”, one from which there is no escape. As more ice melts (融化), more dark open water appears. The darkness absorbs (吸收) more heat, which speeds up the pace of melting.

Until recently, many scientists thought it might take until the end of the century for the North Pole to become completely ice free during the summer. Now some believe it could happen by 2030 or even earlier. “The melting is happening faster in the real world than it has in the models,” says Nick Toberg.

1.The purpose of the first paragraph is to tell readers __________.

A. it’s difficult to arrive at the Arctic

B. it is too cold for people to live in the Arctic

C. what caused the climate change in the Arctic

D. we can see the most obvious climate change in the Arctic

2.From the second paragraph we can learn Arctic summer sea ice __________.

A. is still decreasing

B. began reducing in 1979

C. fell to its lowest level in September

D. is equal to the Mississippi River

3.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. The changes don’t affect the Arctic at all.

B. The changes will only happen in the Arctic.

C. The changes happening in the Arctic will stop.

D. The changes will also affect other parts of the world.

4.Nick Toberg may agree that __________.

A. the ice in the North Pole will stop melting

B. the ice in the North Pole is melting faster than expected

C. the ice in the North Pole will melt before 2030 or even earlier

D. the ice in the North Pole will not disappear until the end of the century
